THOUGHTS OF HH SHRI BHOLA NATHJI (1902-1992)

The darkness of night has come. The rays of
the sun have been drowned in this sea of
darkness. The Sun is now a captive.

You are aware of the coming of this
darkness and are frightened, but its coming
is a perfectly natural phenomenon even as
the lighting of your candle, which keeps the
darkness a few feet away from you.

Know then, this, that darkness is not without
meaning. It is from the depths of it that the
first rays of the sun will emerge at dawn.

Darkness has come to relieve you of the
trials and tribulations of the day; to take you
into an entirely different world, with a Sun
of its own and a light of its own, which may
be beheld only at night in slumber.

When you awaken in the morning, the world
of your dreams vanishes and you see another
familiar one. Then, it is, that you refer to the
world of your dreams as an “illusion,” – the
very world, which was the only truth a
moment before.

In a like manner, this world that you see
around you will cease to exist one day for
you, and then you will think of it even as
you thought of the world of dreams – an
illusion.

Realize this awakening now in this sleep.
